Love Their Products - Best Compact Digital Camera Critique
Additionally, the camera was making an unstoppable beeping noise. I finally managed to turn the camera off. I finally decided to get it and ended up being very disappointed. The response was way too slow. The HD video is excellent. It's as good as or better than my Panasonic HD camcorder puts out. I ended up returning it and buying a Nikon s8100 for about the same price. The pic and video/audio quality is fine and I'm happy with it. Rinsed off the saltwater and took it to the mountains for the long shots. It is small enough for a pocket and great for hiking and backpacking - no worries on dropping.
Make sure you have the right scene set for iAuto, you don't serious expect landscape mode to take a good family picture do you" I posted some pictures in different modes so you can get of sense of some the cameras features and capabilities.
I would have to return to the hotel to charge or not take any afternoon / night pictures. The camera would also stop focusing and the pictures came out blurry.
The quality of the video and photos was much better than expected...we ended up leaving the DSLR in our room most of the trip. We use this camera for our vacations.
To get a quality shot it I feel like you have to select the correct camera setting first, which just adds time and annoyance. I've been using Canon Powershots the past 10 years and this camera doesn't even compare to the Canon's point and shoot capability. Then he showed us that he could step on it, and drop it from a certain height, and it would remain in good condition. The thing that really got me interested was that it was waterproof. I returned it as soon as I got back. While larger than compact point and shoots, this camera's tough features let you take pictures you might not otherwise get if you left your regular camera at home. I'm still playing with it and learning all the options but I highly recommend the camera. It does all that it says it does; it is compact and burly.
Not very "tough" it seems. Because it has no range finder, if you are out in the sun, the screen is almost impossible to see. The camera is slow and I expected that from other reviews, I can deal with that. The issue is the poor focus, sound and mid light conditions.
It does as said, for now. The shipping was pretty slow but all in all a great buy.
